Eggplant Faceplant

I haven’t had eggplant in quite some time. Other than eggplant parm or baba ghanoush I really don’t know what the hell else to do with eggplant. In the world of emojis the eggplant is the symbol for male genitalia. Fancy that.

This song brings back memories of a girl named Leslie from Manchester By The Sea

Eggplant really seems like a vegetable best served in a mixture to disguise its true taste. I bet it doesn’t crack most people’s Top 10 Vegetable list.

When I worked as a dishwasher at an Italian restaurant I got to see the fry cook get the eggplant slices breaded and fried before handing them to the line cook. He’d cheese them, pop them in the oven and then sauce them before yelling ORDER UP!

I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole groping thing. I don’t think I know any women who haven’t been grabbed or touched at some point. It’s not because a lot of men are like that- they aren’t. It’s because the few guys who are total swine, are so prolific and habitual about it. If there’s 1 of them to 100 women, they eventually get around to us all.

That happened to me when wife was a bridesmaid at a wedding. Boob leering guy saw me after he said it and then told me how lucky I was. He was smashed and had no impulse control by then, and still managed to only look and comment. He wasn’t exactly swine, just impressed.

I had a workplace groper a couple years ago but I didn’t tell anybody. Because my job was to move about the whole store, and he worked in one department, I was able to simply avoid him most of the time.

Isn’t it illegal to have an NDA that requires you to not report a crime? I don’t get how people think they are bound by these contracts. Wouldn’t that be the same as joining in a conspiracy to hide a crime?

There are a lot of scumbag parents out there who will convince themselves that the rumors aren’t true, that their kid is lying just to get attention, it’s no big deal, etc. because the money is too good.

The 2 Coreys deal makes me sick. I know it’s just the tip of the iceberg. From what they said themselves, they were passed around to lots of Hollywood higher up men when they were very young. It’s a cesspool and it needs millions of gallons of water and bleach.

And when people use the line (to deflect away from themselves), “It was an open secret!” I want to puke.

Remember the creep in England, the TV personality who molested tons of kids? It seems as though lots of people knew.

That happens quite often. People just don’t make the accusation and confront the POS (with their fists or a shiv preferably).

I don’t know if she ever said anything, but I remember hearing rumors about her. I think it was when that movie came out where she was a kid living in a whorehouse and people were wondering if her mother had lost her fucking mind.

You shut up, MJ. You just shut up. Ben is beautiful. You can knock his acting, because he’s dumb as a stump, but his looks are cute and I swear to God I will let Carin grabble you again in your swimsuit area.

I don’t think I’ve ever been groped (except by Mr. TiFW), but I am so short that most of the guys in high school and early college were too tall – they never saw me coming, and when they did, the only thing they saw was the top of my head.

Come to think of it, I DID get my hair “tusseled up” quite a bit in those days…..

(Seriously, though, one of my HS friend’s daughters had a spontaneous Vertebral Arterial Dissection a few weeks ago. This phrase was in the Wikipedia write-up about VAD; I saw it and immediately thought about you degenerates 😜).

Hi all – been slammed at work the last few days, and now I am home with a sick kid (allergies like a mo’fo) – Napa fires – while 2 hours away – are blowing smoke right into the valley and on top of my house. Air is gross, and the kid can’t leave the house without meds and an inhaler.

Fun times.

Also. I think most women have dealt with a handsy male pig at some point. I sell ads – deal with lots of car guys – you can only imagine. Never got to the physical, but you learn how to disarm them. Also, had a HS teacher who would always come behind me in class to look over my shoulder and try to get eyes down my shirt. Asked me out after I graduated and came home from college.

Most guys will stop when called out for it. Bonus points if others are around and you can shame them in a group setting.

And, just want to say THANKS to y’all – I’ve lurked at AoS HQ for I can’t even tell you how long. Never really worked up the courage to jump into the comment threads, but that place has kept me sane through a lot of political stupidity. The cussing and jokes were totally a bonus. You all have had a part in that, whether as COBs or in the comments that have kept me laughing and informed for a lot of years.

SO THANK YOU!!! I’m so glad Jazz brought me here and you all have been so welcoming. Bullwhips not withstanding!!!

Can anyone tell me WTF actually happened in LasVegas besides 59 people enjoying a concert getting dunned down? How many shooters? When did Paddock register at the hotel? Did he shoot a weapon through his own door? Phone records? Money records? Gambling transactions? This shit should be known within 24 hours. Wtf is going on? This is fodder for conspiracy theories.

Friend and I were talking about it today. So many conflicting stories out there. My friend thought the guard he shot at ruined whatever his original plan was. The whole tannerite stowed in the car thing is why he thinks that. And the holes in the tanks with 5.56 rounds from a guy who had enough money to buy a 50 caliber Barrett rifle or even RPG’s.

Podesta’s SIL is the FBI agent in charge of the LV investigation. (Adjusts tin foil tiara) Cruz is right. Americans will never believe in the Rule of Law again if Hillary is not indicted. FBI investigation into NCAA basketball coaches, vendors, and investment groups are a big nothingburger as long as CGI pay to play is condoned

My 14 year old dachshund is a freak. She shakes, shivers, and anxiety yawns from the minute we leave the Condo until we get to Pet Paradise. Lobby at Pet Paradise…a miracle occurs. She is the softest, sweetest, bestest dog ever. GOAT. All the counselors adore her.

Pam Geller says that all the phones/laptops returned to the Vegas Shooting witnesses have the pictures/vids of the incident wiped. The FBI is building a story and wants no conflicting pictures/evidence.
I would not be surprised if this is true…

I still believe I killed my dad. Hospice lifted all morphine measuring at the end and I just gave him morphine every time he seemed to be in pain. Increased night terrors in addition to my regular freak outs. Being with Dan’s mom in her final days feels like I’m killing my dad all over again.

You did not kill your dad, Oso. He was dying and you were keeping him comfortable. That’s why they lift it at the end.

My friend’s mother had the same order. Lung cancer at 56. Couldn’t breath. Going through tanks of oxygen like xbrad and gym socks. Panic setting in. She grabbed my friend by the shirt and gasped ‘help me’. They gave her a sedative. When it knocked her out, they removed the oxygen. Seeing her mama like that, she got over any guilt she may have had.

My FiL goes through spates of depression over his body beginning to fail him. He feels no pain. Just weak. I get it, but dude, you have made old bones with no pain. Quityerbitchin over the low-salt diet. I can’t have dairy and my f*cking shoulder makes me want to cut a bish.

(I don’t give him shit unless he starts talking stupid….like o’ding, or thinking that if he doesn’t take his meds, which help keep him out of the hated hospital, he’ll die quicker. )

Oh, and a few months after my friend’s mama passed, I dreamed about her. She was checking in. I gave her a hug, told her I was sorry, but she was all good. She was herself and in her kitchen where we used to sit and shoot the shit. Woman cussed like a sailor.

Dan arranged for last rites for his mom. Hospice nurse, social worker, and chaplain have been keeping us informed. We already had Steelers/Chiefs tickets. Dan drove beyond his old man endurance. Our rental car needs an IT degree to figure out. Braum’s, Billy Sim’s, and whatever tomorrow brings.

Pretty sure if he was on morphine and they stopped caring how much he took, he didn’t have very long. Maybe days at the most. Pretty sure you didn’t want to see him suffer the whole time. You loved and cared for him and his comfort. Maybe talk to a priest and forgive yourself.

Beasn the difference between the intellectual and the emotional. I know that the anti-hallucinogens and the morphine was for his comfort. It was just surreal listening to him talk to his dead family and being encouraged to drug him through it.

30 years ago I was groped by a coworker that groped another coworker. He was Muslim. Coworker was AA. We both reported to AA female APE. HR was off. APE called cops. Situation treated as assault. By cops. Target was scrambling. Fired APE. Fired groper. Tagged me and other accuser.

I’ll tell you, I had to turn the Olympics off last night. The gay overload with the gay flags and gayness and the gay skier and the all about gay was too much for me. How does being gay have ANYTHING to do with skiing unless you’re purposefully landing on a pole?
